内容説明
X-ray binaries are some of the most varied and perplexing systems known to astronomers. The compact object which accretes mass from its companion star may be a white dwarf， neutron star， or black hole， whereas the donor star can be a ’normal’ star or a white dwarf. The various combinations differ widely in their behaviour， and this timely volume provides a unique reference of our knowledge to date of all of them. Fifteen specially written chapters by a team of the world’s foremost researchers in the field explore all aspects of the X-ray binaries. They cover the X-ray， ultraviolet， optical and radio properties of these violent systems and address key issues such as: how were these systems formed， and what will be their fate; how can we understand X-ray bursts， and how the quasi-periodic oscillations; what is the connection between millisecond radio pulsars and low-mass X-ray binaries; and how does the magnetic field of a neutron star decay? This long awaited review provides graduate students and researchers with the standard reference on X-ray binaries for many years to come.
Book Description
X-ray binaries are stellar systems that combine one normal star (like our sun) and a smaller star， such as a white dwarf， a neutron star， or a black hole. This timely text provides a comprehensive overview of the unique and varied behavior of these combinations. Fifteen specially-written chapters by a team of the world’s foremost researchers in the field explore all aspects of the X-ray binaries， including the X-ray， ultraviolet， optical， and radio properties of these violent systems， and address key issues such as how these systems formed and what their fate might be. They also discuss X-ray bursts and quasi-periodic oscillations， the connections between millisecond radio pulsars and low-mass X-ray binaries， and how the magnetic field of a neutron star decays. This long-awaited review provides graduate students and researchers with the standard reference on X-ray binaries for many years to come.
